Draft Grade — Jets
Overall A-
ValueA- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Jets a A-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Sam Hartman; the Jets did not wait, grabbing him 100 spots ahead at pick 158. They executed a plan and it shows in the A-.

The Wilson steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick No. 15 they get a cornerstone up front. A real need, handled.
Pick21 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Rome Odunze at Round 1, Pick 21 is the proof. The roster fit checks out.
Pick46 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
A offensive lineman of that caliber at No. 46 is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick49 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. at slot 49 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick51 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in the 51st pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick72 Rnd3 T.J. Tampa
They will replay T.J. Tampa at the 72nd overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick84 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Value with a capital V on Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in pick 84, a genuine coup. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick97 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
Circle this one: Ja'Lynn Polk at the 97th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick111 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
A tidy bit of business in Round 4, Pick 11, where Khyree Jackson graded well above the range. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick135 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher slipping to No. 135 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick158 Rnd5 Sam Hartman
They reached a country mile for Sam Hartman at the Round 5 slot, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick178 Rnd6 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at the 178th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick185 Rnd6 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo at pick No. 185 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick195 Rnd6 Tykee Smith
You do not let a safety like Tykee Smith reach slot 195 and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick256 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Taking Frank Gore Jr. in No. 256 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick257 Rnd7 Sheridan Jones
Sheridan Jones in slot 257 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
